“Soldiers in cantonment are going hungry, soldiers in barracks are going hungry and here you are flying here and there with dollars in your pocket and you don’t care about these people,” said Edmund Yakani, executive director of the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO).

Last week, President Salva Kiir and Dr. Riek Machar agreed to extend the pre-transitional period by 100 days, starting on Tuesday, 12 November.

He argued that the President should personally monitor how these funds are being utilized by the peace mechanisms.

“We are using this space to call on the President to review the expenses – how this money is being used towards implementation of the peace agreement,” Yakani.
